Climate change amplifies the crisis
Environmental pressures have intensified Telangana’s fluoride problem in recent decades
Erratic rainfall patterns, extended droughts & rising temperatures have forced communities to drill deeper borewells, tapping into older groundwater reserves with higher fluoride concentrations
A 2024 Government of India survey results paint a stark picture: 14.87 per cent of over 1,150 groundwater samples exceeded the safe fluoride limit
